Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Shared server model
I agree with not putting your multiple databases on one NT box - single point of failure.
If you have to upgrade something or add a new driver, you may have to reboot the machine. It's not so bad if you only have one db on it, it only inconveniences those users.
If ALL your databases are on that one machine, whenever that server goes down you will inconvenience ALL your customers, at the same time.
Likewise if there ever is a hardware failure on your machine.
Just a thought.

Raj,
Your bosses idea might be OK with the following conditions.
1. If your database size is small (what is small is relative term.
I
consider a database small if it is less than 200 GB)
2. If the number of users accessing the database is less (around 50
users).
3. If you have big server with large amount of memory (more than or equal to
4 GB) and more than or equal to 4 processors. And no other application is
competing for hardware resources.
4. If your server is a unix box (Forget doing this idea on NT. If your boss
insists on NT, then start brushing up your resume!!).
5. If you have backup plans for your database.
The list could give you suggestions, if you come out with your database
size, number of users, type of database (OLTP/DSS), the hardware
configuration etc.

DBAs,
I am working for a web developing and hosting company. My boss came
out with
an idea of putting all the DB in a massive(!!) server so that we
dont need
to have seperate server for each DB. He argues this is better idea
than
having DB server for each site.
I am not sure how this will work. Any thoughts on this would be
helpful to
me..
Thanks
Raj
